“…Prior studies identified different PBRs and distinguished between application boundary resources, development boundary resources, and social boundary resources (Bianco et al, 2014;Petrik & Herzwurm, 2020a). Application boundary resources allow third-party applications to connect with the platform core, including APIs for accessing specific data (Grzenda & Legierski, 2021). Development boundary resources provide the means to developers to develop their applications, such as SDKs or debugging tools.…”

The success of digital platforms can be attributed to the engagement of autonomous complementors as exemplified by e-commerce Content Management System (CMS) platforms such as WordPress and Shopify. Platform owners provide Platform Boundary Resources (PBRs) to stimulate and control complementor engagement. Despite the increasing scholarly interest in digital platform ecosystems, their exact role in facilitating and channeling complementor engagement remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted an embedded case study on CMS platform ecosystems, comprising a total of 24 interviews with platform owners and complementors. We inductively derive five types of complementor engagement and their respective manifestations and two overarching engagement goals of complementors. Moreover, we determine the different types of PBRs utilized, including their critical effects, and distinguish between uniform and individual PBRs reflecting their respective generalizability and scalability. We discuss the findings by introducing the concepts of complementor resourcing and complementor securing and shed light on the standardization-individualization tension of PBRs faced by platform owners.

“…In the application process with OGD, the government and society will be the beneficiaries, and more and more people have recognized that using OGD can promote business prosperity and social development (Kumar et al , 2021; Rumbold et al , 2020). In addition, open data competitions are gradually gaining widespread attention to better use the OGD and stimulate public participation (Grzenda and Legierski, 2021; Anderson Cook et al , 2019; Kitsios and Kamariotou, 2019).…”

Purpose In the era of big data, data have become an essential factor of production. In the context of open government data (OGD), encouraging the commercial development of OGD is significant for promoting mass innovation and entrepreneurship. This study aims to explore the configurational impact of data supply, external environment and entrepreneurial foundation on data-driven entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach This research used a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). Fourteen start-ups using OGD were taken as a case sample. Findings This study produces two paths to achieving high entrepreneurial performance, one is a financing-enhanced entrepreneurial path and the other is a data-driven entrepreneurial path. Besides, four conditions are necessary for high performance of OGD-based entrepreneurship: good data quality, mature legal environment, favorable market environment and abundant big data entrepreneurial talents. Practical implications The findings have important practical implications for formulating policies related to promoting the application of government open data and innovation and entrepreneurship in terms of strengthening top-level design, improving the legal environment, developing the data market and cultivating entrepreneurial talents. Originality/value Although many studies have been conducted on OGD, studies on the paths to successful entrepreneurship based on OGD are limited. In this study, this issue is investigated from a configurational perspective by using the fsQCA technique.

“…Digital transformation towards a digital society requires education on digital literacy, which includes the usage, retrieval and sharing of information and the use of digital services, education and proactive involvement of citizens, who represent the feedback component of the ecosystem, ensuring improvement in the circular cycle. The need for data harmonization and standardized data quality evaluation on web portals, benchmarking frameworks [56], design requirements of portals, datasets and usage statistics [57], can lead to data improvement, and thus unlock the potential for new solutions from entrepreneurs [58] but also from universities [59]. As stated in [45], the EU supports the integration of data and knowledge to create online services and resources relevant for businesses and end-users using open data.…”

Open Data as a Condition for Smart Application Development: Assessing Access to Hospitals in Croatian Cities

et al. 2022

This research aims to assess available spatial open data related to access to hospitals in the three largest Croatian cities (Zagreb, Split, Rijeka), with a future aim to create digital services as an ecosystem that will be used in everyday situations, as part of the concept of “digital society”. Data analysis is performed for the following datasets: hospitals, hospital specialization, public transport (tram, bus), bike routes, car routes, parking and parking for people with disabilities. The future aim is to create a new mobile, multilingual and voice-based application that would enable quick access to information on hospital access, relying on the principles of the open data ecosystem, which would improve over time. There are four specific aims: (1) to identify and analyze portals and open datasets of the selected categories for the three largest Croatian cities; (2) to analyze existing open data assessment frameworks and detect gaps; (3) to create a conceptual open data assessment framework as an open data ecosystem that integrates new end-user perspectives; and (4) to analyze existing open datasets for the three largest cities in Croatia, based on supply and demand by researcher/developer categories, using the newly developed framework. The results show that existing open datasets related to hospital access in the three largest Croatian cities are scattered across different portals. Analyzed frameworks existing on the supply side of open data are more focused on the status of the components, lacking evaluation scales and not including end-user-driven aspects, which would be crucial for the open data ecosystem. As a result, the new “Hospital Access Framework” is created as a conceptual ecosystem, including five categories: supply, demand by researcher/developer, demand by end-user, legal aspect and impact. Analysis of existing open data for the three Croatian cities is performed for two categories (supply and demand by researcher/developer), for which KPIs, indicators and evaluation scales are developed. The other three categories are not analyzed, since the application cannot be developed from existing data, which are insufficient for the creation of a smart application. Results show that existing open data related to hospital access are incomplete or do not exist at all (hospital specialization, parking for people with disabilities, data on multilingualism and voice enabling). Average scores of the supply category are higher than those for demand by researcher/developer, although they are below the average grade, showing a lack of available data that could be used for further development. The new conceptual “Hospital Access Framework” open data ecosystem would benefit from end-user interaction, therefore, improving over time with end-users through interaction.
